California State Amendment missing direct deposit info

[Matt18]

I'm amending my 2023 California state taxes. TurboTax can't e-file it, so I'm printing them out. I noticed that my direct deposit info is missing from the amended forms. It was on my original forms.  Is there a reason that TT didn't add it?  Should I write it in?

TurboTax likely omits direct deposit information on amended returns primarily for security reasons. This helps protect your banking details from being exposed during the printing/mailing process.

California does issue paper checks for refunds on mailed-in returns. However, you can still opt for direct deposit by manually entering your banking information on the amended forms
